I can’t believe Daytona’s just around the corner. I’m sitting around, chomping at the bit to get the 2013 season underway. We had a great year in 2012, traveling to five different tracks. It was an awesome experience for me. I love my home track but cherish the opportunity of driving at new venues. New tracks meant new competition and a completely different tire than the one I learned to race on. We were competitive at all the new places, setting poles and putting ole Black Betty out front where she’s happiest.  It was great to finish the 2012 season with a win at Caraway Speedway on October 14th. I couldn’t have made a single lap all year, without all the wonderful people that support me. I have an awesome group of sponsors, never-ending support from my fans and a ton of people behind the scenes that do all the heavy lifting for me. I’m wishing all of you a wonderful, blessed, happy 2013.  “Be your best, forget the rest.” — Annabeth

10.20.12 – An Amazing Week At The NASCAR ‘Drive For Diversity’ Combine.

Posted:

As you may know, this past Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, I had the privilege of competing at the 2012 NASCAR Drive for Diversity (D4D) Combine in Langley, VA. D4D is basically a three-day tryout for a spot on the 2013 Rev Racing team.  Seventeen individuals were invited – 10 women and 7 men – all very talented drivers. The entire experience was amazing, from bonding and competing with the other drivers to learning from the Rev Racing Team to just getting behind the wheel and giving it all I had.

Later today, we will post some links to some stories that covered the Drive for Diversity Combine.

I’m very thankful to have been a part of it, and thankful to Rev Racing, NASCAR, Toyota, and everyone who made the combine possible.

News as it happens. Until then, I’ll keep chasing the dream. Thank you all for your love and support.  You all inspire and uplift me more than you can know —

Annabeth
